while his footwork and conditioning need some work (off season training and hitting the weights can resolve that) he's doing his job atm and drawing doubleteams. its not his fault our Ends cant beat man coverage. i think just like our passing game last year... people knew we couldnt pass so they stacked 8 or 9 guys in the box to stop the run. this year teams know our ends couldnt sack an old lady crossing the street so they jsut clog the middle and let man on man take care of our rush or.... laugh when our guys WHIFF on tackles.

:clap:

To throw Dorsey to the curb already is stupidity.

YES, there are some CB's/QB's/RB's that come into the league and play well immediately, that goes without saying. But DLine is the most unappreciated positions to NFL fans. They do NOT get the credit they deserve. It takes talent, technique, power, agility, and intelligence to play DT and DE's.

Why would an offensive line even worry about double teaming our End's. It's like holding a midget at arm's length. One man at DT is not going to stop several other 300+ lb men. It is a team effort in the trenches, more so than at ANY other point on the field, both offensively and defensively.

Comparing Dorsey in college vs. NFL is also apples to oranges. The men across the line of scrimmage in college are probably working at an car dealership right now. The men he faces now are talented, have their technique down to a science, have NFL caliber coaching, are in peak physical condition, and the invaluable asset of experience vs. those simliar in physical ability.

Dorsey is a 24 yr old rookie, playing one of the most physically demanding sports, who is still developing his technique and honing his skillset. And so far, in his rookie year, has outperformed DT greats.

Anyone calling him a for sure bust, doesn't know how to read stat lines.

Look at all the dominant DT's in the NFL right now, then refer back to their rookie year stat lines.

It is incredibly easy to prove that a DT's rookie season doesn't prove sh*t.

You absolutely do.

I just don't like seeing the worst season I have ever seen as a Chiefs fan be blamed on one guy. Yes, he was our highest pick, yes he is making millions, but money doesn't buy experience. That is a real guy out there who is trying his best to flow the sinking ship just a little while longer.

Last year at this time, least we forget, he was probably studying for an algebra test. Now he's being judged by millions of pissed off fans looking for someone's head to roll while trying to learn an extremely tough position especially for NFL players.

He could end up being a bust, he could end up in the Hall Of Fame.

Anyone calling him a for sure bust, doesn't know how to read stat lines.

Look at all the dominant DT's in the NFL right now, then refer back to their rookie year stat lines.

It is incredibly easy to prove that a DT's rookie season doesn't prove sh*t.

That's not an opinion, it's statistical fact.

I know it may be early...but honestly i really dont like what i see in him. He is not showing any signs of progress, he gets pushed back quite a bit and often. I dont see him using any moves, its just pure raw straight bull rush 90% of the time. He lacks explosion BIGTIME. that is coming off the ball.

His footwork is absolutely terrible.

Lack or explosion and bad footwork=death for any lineman

It's not fair to point fingers. Not saying he is the reason for the worst Chiefs season ever? but he is part of the equation? It's not all on him, its a combination of a lot of things for this absolute disaster. I believe ownership is the root of the problem.

I will agree with your last statement, for sure. :D

Give him time. If he hasn't made strides in a year and begins to become the DT that he has the potential to become, then I'll completely agree with you.

As for now, your assessment of him is limited, as is everyone else's.

He is raw, but has talent and A LOT of upside.

Sapp had 27 Tackles 1 int in his rookie season.

Dorsey has already exceeded his tackles and matched his int stats. Plus forced a fumble in less games.

I just think everyone expected him to come in and explode off the ball, and pancake opposing guards. I knew that he would be slow in coming, DT's always are unless they have more talent on either side of them, which Dorsey most definatly does not have.

I believe he will be good and a much needed motivational leader for the Chiefs.

11-24-2008, 12:50 PM

Dorsey is doing great for a rookie DT. I'd be interested to see the average years of playing some of these veteran O-lineman that Dorsey is positioned against. I honestly don't remember any real rookie guards or centers that he has played against, or any backups for that matter. Has he played against any?

The fact is the past five games are strictly on Herm/Gun's _efense as a unit. We can't get a pass rush, and our LB can't tackle for Shite. IMO Dorsey is the only one consistantly driving throughout the game. He is drawing the most double teams, and is the one who has IMO gotten the best penetration at the LOS, when we have gotten penetration.

PhillyChiefFan

So true, he draws double teams, and that SHOULD open up the opportunity for sacks or tackles for loss by other lineman/DE's. Sometimes the stats don't tell the whole truth of the player.

Appreciate your encouragement of faith.

But he has a long, long way to go.

There is a lot of room for improvement thats for sure. He had great explosion and power for a DT coming out of college. I watched LSU games last year, so I don't doubt him in that regard. It just hasn't transcended well for him at the NFL level. Maybe part of the reason is his difficulty to adjust at the NFL level? The speed of the game is a heck of a lot faster.

*I don't consider Dorsey raw. He needs to do something that can improve on his technique, but I really think he is gonna need a great off-season workout going for him or something in order for himself to make strides.

Rooster

11-24-2008, 01:04 PM

I think he will be fine. The only concern is that he hasn't shown any Flashes this year. Every good young player shows Flashes of things to come every once in a while. A great play here or a great play there. He just hasn't had those yet. I'm not worried though. I think he will be a good player when he learns his technique.

IT'S Dorsey. He justs sucks and is what he is a "non-factor". Chief fans I know its tough to swallow, but he is what he is. It's reality.

Are you really dumb enough to compare a DE to a DT? I think there is a reason their positions have different names.

Chiefnj2

11-24-2008, 01:06 PM

If you go back to the year 2000 and look at the draft classes of DT's picked in the top 10 then Dorsey is underperforming. I'll leave Okoye out since everyone is saying you need 3 years. The guys that come in strong appear to have the ability to keep it up with the exception of Warren who is merely average. The guys who started off slow pretty much busted.

Corey Simon (Eagles 6th) 38 tackles and 9.5 sacks. Status - After a strong 4 years he ballooned in weight and started holding out. He got fatter, got hurt and is retired (I believe).

* Kevin Williams played 4 games at the end of the year at DT. He started at LDE. The stats posted were his DT stats only (month of December).

Since dorsey isn't playing well why don't we try him at a different position to get some sort of value. Maybe we can play him on special teams to block for our return game.He can be taught to long snap and take a pay cut next year. :thumb:

Warren played well in his rookie campaign, but he also played next to Tyrone Rogers who was their best Defensive Lineman that year. A pretty good Defensive Line truth be told. He had a hell of a lot more around him.

Corey Simon (Eagles 6th) 38 tackles and 9.5 sacks. Status - After a strong 4 years he ballooned in weight and started holding out. He got fatter, got hurt and is retired (I believe).

Simon played with a very good Defensive Line.
Douglas had, what, 15 sacks that year? Hollis Thomas was there then...
Whiting, Mamula...

He has virtually nothing around him and he's done okay.

The league is going to the bigger 340lb DT now, those are the sought after guys...by having 2 undesized DT's like the Chiefs do it's almost like you're playing behind the curve the undersized fast DT was in 5 years ago but not now.

These are actually pretty solid stats for a rookie D-Tackle, and Dorsey has 5 more games left. I agree that he isn't as influential as Sapp was his rookie season, but I also thought that Matt Ryan would be terrible, so what do I know.

depends on how you define 'great'

in 2007, they were 11th against the pass (giants). his secondaries ALSO benefit(ted) by having a tremendous pass rush ahead of them. you give some of those chiefs teams strahan, tuck and umenyiora, and I guarantee they're ranked higher than they ended up being ranked.

Great players do it all the time. Coaches can advise, and guide. As far as the training programs go, he can hire his own trainer to help in that regard..or have him design an offseason workout program what he needs to do?

tell me that wasn't from your memory. if it was, impressive recollection.

I remember ahonotu and dotson. they were decent to good. culpepper I don't remember, and I'm not motivated enough to check the google and find out.

Culpepper was workmanlike. Now he runs a law firm in Tampa.

Of course he would.

A franchise LT is the 2nd most important position on the field.

whos job is it to demonstrate that on the field? The player.

A coach can advise him, but it's the players responsibility to work and practice what he needs to do to improve.

but since you're the expert, now is the time when you come and tell us conclusively that you've SEEN how he's been coached, and that he's just too fucking stupid to pick up on the coaching.

oh yeah. I forget. this is the team that has had the following players bust out IN A ROW. eric downing, ryan sims, eddie freeman, junior siavii, and (maybe) tank tyler, turk mcbride, and glenn dorsey (according to you)

yeah. all of those guys where just too fucking stupid and nonmotivated to listen to the awesome great coaching they received (or did they?)

How the heck am I supposed to know how hes being coached? Am i behind the scenes to see how these guys are being prepared? I dont know.

Speaking of stupid, and nonmotivated. One thing I do know, I remember watching HBO hard knocks and they showed a clip of Tank Tyler sleeping while they were playing film. Now I dont know if that was for show or for real.

If it is real, do you know how ****n bad that is?

so you DON'T know that the coaching isn't horrible. is it possible, nay, probable, that there's a REASON defensive tackles bust at a very high rate in KC for a REASON?!?

maybe a good DL coach could help our guys have that second or third passrushing move. maybe a good DL coach could make them better prepared. maybe, just fucking maybe, a better DL coach could lead to more than six fucking sacks through 11 games

People talk about Dorsey as if hes some sort of project?

WTF? He is a TOP 5 PICK! Came from a great school with a great program, arguable came out as one of the best defensive players in the country, but he needs time?

yeah i aint buying that. youre either good, and you have it, or you don't.

yeah i also want my chiefs finishing shit so they can a top pick again..Dorsey is an example how finishing sh*t can hurt you.

This is why you're an idiot. I'd rather have Herm in charge of our team for 5 years like Gretz said than have you involved at all.

chiefsngop

11-24-2008, 03:10 PM

I know it may be early...but honestly i really dont like what i see in him. He is not showing any signs of progress, he gets pushed back quite a bit and often. I dont see him using any moves, its just pure raw straight bull rush 90% of the time. He lacks explosion BIGTIME. that is coming off the ball.

His footwork is absolutely terrible.

Lack or explosion and bad footwork=death for any lineman

His lack of explosion could very well be caused by "thinking too much" and not just "playing". That usually works it's way out of a rookie in one season.

The rest of the items you listed can directly be tied to poor coaching. Get some better mentors around him and improvement could start immediately. And I think change is on the way in the defensive coaching department. (pray)

I said coaching isn't everything. And it's not. it's both players and coaching.

Is there a reason DL dont pan out in KC? I dont know? Bad scouting? Bad Coaching? A little bit of everything?...I didnt say all coaching. You blew it out of proportion man.

Rookie's don't normally do this. Jared didn't become any good until his 4th season!! His 2nd was really solid, but his 3rd was terrible. Because of that, he decided to study a lot mroe and become better. After his 3rd season. So stop faulting Dorsey for not hitting the books.

Come on folks. Way too early to call him a bust. It's rare that a defensive tackle has a great first year. Biggest reason? Most of them got by in college with strong legs and OK upper body strength. When they get to the NFL, they are going against the best every Sunday. The strong legs aren't enough. The upper body strength has to be there, too. Dorsey doesn't have that yet. Watch closely. He doesn't have that upper body to stand an offensive lineman up and push him around. Give him the offseason building the upper body. You'll see a big difference next year.

I still think Dorsey can become a dominant DT, he just needs a supporting cast. If they would have been smart, they would have used him and Boone as the DTs, with Tank subbing in, but they thought using a slow-ass DT for a DE was the solution for a pass-rush. I also think Boone could have help guide Dorsey. Our managment of players is awful.

Wasn't it Jerry Glanville that said it would take a natural disaster (or something like that) before he would play Bret Favre? I'm also pretty sure Favres first couple of passes in the NFL were INTS returned for TD's.

The point is, you can not call someone a bust during their initial season.

11-24-2008, 06:09 PM

the dude is thick...have you ever seen him...? the guy just won a NC and cried when a 4-12 team picked him...if that's not the kind of player you want, then i don't know what to tell you. He's gonna be a beast..

problem is..in college, it prolly didn't take much for him to dominate..but he's with the big boys now...a couple of years in the weight room...plus he doesn't give up on plays...he pursues runners and makes tackles...what kind of year do you think he would have if JA was lining up next to him?

you're just gonna have to be patient. or not.

Dorsey is playing the most physical position on the field. He's going up against big, big grown ass men. You can't expect a 23 year old to manhandle 28-32 year olds. He's going up against pro bowlers like Alan Faneca, Logan Mankins, and Kris Dielman. Give him time to grow!

its nice to see him and tank do this. neither one gives up on plays. good thing to see in your DTs. both big guys who would never be noticed not chasing a qb or running back 20 yards downfield, yet there they are still

If your DT is 20 yards downfield you have some pretty big problems.

I think Dorsey will be great when he grows into the role a bit. I would love to have a nice 340 lb run stuffer lining up beside him though.

Plain and simple.

Another bust of a DT:cuss:

JWhit is right about everything he said about Dorsey. I thought he was supposed to be the centerpiece around the DLine? "Supposively" supposed to be that difference maker?

Yeah:rolleyes:

Not even close.

You lost all credibility right there when you said Fatlock is right. If you actually agree with a shit stirring untalented fatass piece of shit like Fatlock, then I agree with the statement that your Thread starting privileges should be revoked. I frankly don't understand how that man keeps his job. I, for one, refuse to read his crap.

Does anyone know if both Tank and Dorsey are getting double teamed? I mean, I checked the stats, the only game where a TE did any damage against us was the SD game. Every other game, it seemed like they were non-existent. So my idea is that the other teams have been leaving their TE in to block. They double team Dorsey and Tank (center guard combo and guard tackle combo). Then, they let our DE's just sit on the outside and get blocked easily by the remaining two (TE and a tackle). FB just cleans up and RB is off to the races with our LB's....

You're right you make a good point...you know, i am being impatient. it does take time. some players progress slower then others. i hope he can become a good player. i really do. loved him coming out of college and was ecstatic when the Chiefs drafted him. he just hasn't been what i expected? i thought he would come in and dominate right away.

i guess one could say i was one of those fans that bought into the hype that he was the most polished DT and Sapp like player coming out.

I think he is pretty good writer. I know he is a controversial, but sometimes he expresses well and makes good sense when he talks about the Chiefs.
